John Bailey thought it was great when his neighbor was elected to the House of Representatives in 2007.
"Not everyone lives next door to a congresswoman," he said.
But two years later, he doesn't feel so lucky. The congresswoman's house is abandoned and in disrepair, "a blight on the neighborhood," Bailey said.
He thinks the way that Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Long Beach) has treated her Sacramento home tells far more about her than her voting record.
"I wouldn't want anyone that irresponsible to represent me," said Bailey, like Richardson a liberal Democrat. "What I don't get is how she has the time to visit with Fidel Castro but doesn't have time for her own house. If you can't manage your own household, you probably shouldn't get involved in international affairs."
He's not alone. Neighbors have complained to the city, written letters and e-mails to Richardson and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , but the three-bedroom house remains an eyesore. Neighbors just wish she would sell it or let it go into foreclosure, anything to get it into the hands of someone who would care.
"She shows total disregard for everyone in the neighborhood," said Sean Padovan, a retired police sergeant. "She ought to be embarrassed and ashamed."
Richardson did not return phone calls for this story.

People will believe in Laura Richardson until hell freezes over, which mean perpetually!
Ray Nagin, NO Mayor, has a house under forclosure here in Frisco, TX. Maybe it has already been foreclosed for not paying his HOA dues.
Isn’t it intersting that she visits Fidel....
Liberals have a genuine attraction to perversion. Here’s a Dem congresswoman neglecting to respect her house at a time when so many are losing theirs. I don’t believe this is an idle observation - I’ve seen too many similiar things over the years. Liberals are depraved, and like their depravity. They look for difficulties in order to rape them in some way, and then they grin about it.
Yes, total slob fits!!!
crazy Amish woman...
Defaulted 6 times? What bank would be dumb enough to lend her money for another house? I’ll bet we’re bailing it out.
She is a congresswomen, she is above the fray. She is now counted amongst the gods of government. She, therefore, can do no wrong. Let them eat cake is her motto; as well it should be … she is a congresswomen after all.
Maybe it has already been foreclosed for not paying his HOA dues. HOA do not foreclose on homes banks do HOA can lien the property
Plant a sign out front: “This house belongs to a Congresscritter. Are YOU well served by COngress?”
This district deserves her. They will vote for her till she dies or she decides she doesn’t want the job anymore.
I’m weary of drive by Amish jokes.
That is because he is a ghetto piece of T-rash as we say over here in LA.
Was’nt there another democritter that was defaulting on her mortgage awhile back? Detroit or somewhere like that but I can’t remember.
Sad. These are the caliber of people in charge of our nation right now. Is it any wonder we have all these problems?
If one scratches very deep on Richardson, a liberal Democrat, you will fins that this is merely the tip of her iceberg of crooked dealings.
She has been a total corrupt scum from the git-go.
Yeah, and Congress wants Nationalized Health Care when this idiot can’t even take care of her house.
